Jota is poised to join on a season-long loan from the Spanish giants, with the deal likely to be announced in the next 48 hours.

The 20-year-old jetted into England on Friday to undergo a medical and finalise his move to Molineux.

He will become Wolves' 10th signing of an extremely busy summer which has also seen nine first-team players leave permanently or on loan – with five and a half weeks still to go in the transfer window.

The figure to buy Jota is unclear at this stage but he cost Atletico £6million when joining them from Portuguese side Pacos Ferreira a year ago. His value will have risen considerably after a successful loan spell last season with Nuno Espirito Santo at Porto, where he scored nine goals in 38 appearances.

Wolves are known to still be chasing a new striker this summer with a loan from a Premier League club looking a likely option.
